🚐 JB CARAVANS – TIP OF THE DAY 🚐
⚡ Check your electric hook-up lead before every trip!
Your hook-up cable spends a lot of time outdoors, where it can be damaged by vehicles, sharp edges, moisture and general wear. A quick check before plugging in can help you spot a problem early.
Before connecting:
✅ Uncoil the cable fully, especially when using high-powered appliances
✅ Check the plugs, sockets and cable for cuts, splits, crushing or scorch marks
✅ Make sure the connections are clean, dry and undamaged
✅ Keep connectors off wet ground where possible
✅ Route the cable where it won’t become a trip hazard or be driven over
✅ Never repair a damaged lead with tape or use unsuitable household extensions
If the cable, plug or socket shows signs of overheating or damage, stop using it and have it professionally inspected or replaced.
JB Caravans can test your hook-up lead and check your caravan or motorhome’s 230V electrical system.
